This is my thinking as well, I currently have a pacemaker, and seem to need chemotherapy every 5 years for the last 30, with lots of related issues. I still feel OK, and am still working full time, but don't want to wait too long to enjoy my retirement, or the SS that I have earned, but may never see.
This thinking is why we bought a newer/nicer truck, and camper this year....carpe diam indeed, and no loans to pay back.
